What a day, Robin and Words of Wisdom via the kids
k---- so I am sooooo tired tonight.. what a day.
I had forgotten how tiring pulling up san augustine grass can be. We put in a new flower bed in the front yard and got flowers for the rest of the yard AND got everything done and planted before dark! YOOHOO>>! Now if we can just keep everything alive.
The kids are really happy right now, Daddy is fixin them some ice cream with m&ms. (its been a long time so they are HAPPY!).. I am thinking once a month is ok. (not really)
Now to the fun stuff..
Nate: "Daddy, God made the trees that make the wind blow..... well.. actually the trees don't MAKE the wind, but they move cause the wind blows, God made the wind."
Cat: (to Nate as he had his fork holding his roll and trying to take a bite)... "If it's too hot for your fingers, then it is too hot for your mouth."
Jo: "Mom!, I took my bandage off!!! " (OH we threw a big party on that comment!) "I didn't hold anyones hand either! just did it all by myself Mom!"
The kids and I were entertained by a mom robin and her baby she was training to hunt for worms. The little baby would follow her around and sqauk and sometimes the mom would dig up a worm and put it in the babies mouth and sometime she would dig one up and leave in on the ground for the baby to pick up himself. I could just hear that mom. "now son, you are older now, not a baby anymore, watch me and I will show you how to get your own worm." and the baby: "BUT MOM!, it tastes better when you fix it for me!" What a fun few minutes we had watching that mom train that baby.. isn't Gods creation amazing!.
Well, the night is young, but I am not. We loose an hour tonight, to which I joke "only an hour"! I am use to loosing atleast three a night! I am going to be soooo well rested at church tomorrow!

Ruthie, you are in your third month of blogging! I just loved the kids' quotes -- they always say things in the neatest way, don't they? Also, I think it is super-neat that you get to watch the mama and baby bird! What a wonderful life lesson.
